Taking A Child By The Hand (Prendre Un Enfant)

Taking a child by the hand, teaching him just how to stand
So he'll accept what tomorrow may bring, taking a child for a king
Taking a child in your arms and as you feel your heart sing
Drying his tears as you're letting him cling, taking a child for a king

Taking a child to your heart, soothing away his distress
Softly in silence to soothe and caress, taking a child to your heart
Taking a child in your arms and as you feel your heart sing
Tears start to fall as you're letting him cling, taking a child for a king

Taking a child by the hand, singing him nursery rhymes
So that he'll sleep at the end of the day, singing his troubles away
Taking a child to your breast, soothing away his unrest
And looking on to the future you've planned, taking a child by the hand
Years on your own, now no longer alone, taking a child for your own
